Steve Squires from NASA talking at Sydney Observatory

[iceman]

Been forgetting to look at Bintel's Night Sky (http://www.bintelshop.com.au/NightSky/NightSky.pdf) newsletter, had a look this morning and the July issue is still up.

Interesting reading, in particular the note on the back that Steve Squires from NASA (Mars Rover chief scientist/project manager) will be talking at Sydney Observatory on the 22nd August from 6pm. It sounds like he's written a book talking about the Mars Rover program, and will probably be launching it at this talk.

Sounds like an excellent read, and i'll definitely make an effort to attend that night. Any other sydney-siders want to join me? It says bookings essential, so I might try and find out today about booking.

Also, congrats to h0ughy who got his triple conjunction shot (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=29542&postcount=53) on the page 2.

Noone else interested in coming with me?

I'll be booking my seat tomorrow.

I've booked my session for next Monday night, $15. You have to pay upfront (I used c/c over the phone).

Hope some others in the area decide to come along, don't forget to book!

Looks like i'm going by myself tonight! Slackers, the lot of you :D

Will write up a report after, and will review his book too!
